Thomas A. Cortese, JR., MD, PHD

Dr. Cortese is a dermatologist who is knowledgeable in the latest treatment protocols for skin diseases and conditions. Professional areas of interest include comprehensive acne treatments to minimize scarring, early skin cancer detection and treatments of rosacea, eczema and atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo, warts, molluscum, skin allergies, and rashes.

I believe that physicians must carefully listen to each patient before a diagnosis is made and treatment is started. I owe this philosophy to my father, who said, ‘Always treat your patient the way you would want to be treated.

He took time to explain exactly why he was treating the way he did. He also spoke like a regular person rather then doctor talk. Reception and MA's are also incredible, patient and informative. Love this practice and really impressed by Dr. Cortese!!

Dr Cortese is very knowledgeable and caring. He takes the time to listen to me and explain what is going on and what the plan is. My Condition is very complex and he cares enough to keep searching for answers

Amazing nice Doctor and I will always follow his advises, as a kidney transplant renal failure patient and have many skin problems since I was with him last year everything he prescribe me was amazing like a magic on my skin to be soft and clear and I'm gratefully thankful of what he did with me ...
